Slice meets James Wade (0-1) in a four-round featured bout at the event, which takes place Aug. 13 at Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla.

Wade made his professional debut this past January and suffered a third-round knockout loss to Carlos Torres.

Meanwhile, Green looks to rebound from back-to-back defeats when he meets Craig Gandy (7-4-1), who has lost his past three fights.

Tickets for the event, which range from $38 to $68, are available at BuffaloRun.com. Broadcast plans for the card have not been announced.

It was Gary Shaw who actually introduced Ferguson to the MMA world in 2007 as the head of the since-folded EliteXC organization. A former underground sensation who rose to fame thanks to his bareknuckle-fighting videos on YouTube, Ferguson won his first three MMA bouts, including the first-ever U.S.-network televised MMA headliner (against James Thompson at “EliteXC: Primetime”). Despite an eventual loss to Seth Petruzelli in the final major EliteXC show, UFC president Dana White took a gamble on “Kimbo” in 2009.

Ferguson was the featured fighter on a heavyweights-only 10th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” which shattered the reality series’ ratings record. After an opening-round loss to eventual show champ Roy Nelson, Ferguson won his first official UFC fight with a lackluster decision victory over Houston Alexander at the show’s live finale.

Surprisingly, though, he was dropped from the roster following a subsequent loss to Matt Mitrione at UFC 113.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
